cannot connect to API LiveChat

hi

am trying to connect to the API of LiveChat and am using these steps:

- new sources> Other> Web

- url= https://api.livechatinc.com/v2/agents

- use basic option with my username and password (is in fact the API Key)

but i get the message couldn t authenticate with the credentials.

Contacted LiveChat to check whether there are issues with my credentials but if i logon to a website with the same credentials i can see data so for them there is no issue.

What needs to be done to connect to this API??

thanks
